"Inside The Bloom, I found Cotoa, chef Alejandra Espinoza’s U.S. debut; Espinoza—one of Ecuador’s most buzzed-about chefs—offers modern takes on traditional Ecuadorian dishes, including casual lunch items like Guaguasas (Ecuadorian pizza made with cassava sourdough), fruit-infused ceviches, and cheese-filled pan de yuca, while the evening menu shifts to a gourmet experience with wahoo salsero with passion fruit sauce, tortellinis de maqueño filled with chicken stew, and pork belly with cacao. A four-course tasting menu is available for $59, and dinner reservations can be made through Resy.com." - Olee Fowler
